The COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020 and affected S’n’S productions for a few years. There was no Carnival production during the 2019-2020 season and the 2020-2021 season was done fully remotely.

Facing the challenge with creativity and grit, the 2021 Carnival production of Little Shop of Horrors was produced remotely with a clever combination of green screen, virtual backdrops, live acting, puppetry, and video editing!

2008’s A Bottle of Scotch was a charity cabaret event that benefited the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, in honor of Randy Pausch, and the Scotch’n’Soda Theatre 70th Anniversary Initiative. While causes have changed over the years, the Annual Charity Cabaret is still an annual S’n’S tradition!

Originally produced for Carnegie Mellon University Homecoming in 1996, this film features talking head interviews of Scotch’n’Soda alumni and performances of original numbers by students of the organization in 1996.

Check out this Introduction to Scotch ‘n’ Soda, written by S’n’S alumni in 1970!

Prior to 1989, S’n’S primarily staged one
major show each year at Carnival.

Through the 1970s and 1980s, the organization would add more one-acts, plays, and additional productions throughout the year, before moving to choosing a “season” of theatre each year in the early 90s.

For earlier decades, these productions have been listed below the Carnival show.
